Yes, I just realized that my example from the fontspec manual was not
exactly parallel to the situation I have. However, doing it as Gareth
suggests generates all sorts of nasty error messages.
I just tried specifying the bold etc. by font file names; no errors, but
no bold in the document either.
I'll study this more tomorrow when my brain is working better.
